Unconsciously, time came to 986.M41 in a flash. It was only more than ten years before the cross-century. Soshiyang originally thought that the Storm Star Territory would be peaceful for a while, but obviously the Milky Way was rarely peaceful. Such peaceful days did not exist.
How long did it take for it to be broken?
The news comes from a nearby forge world, Alatimos, also known as the Spider Planet.
Although this forging world is very close to the Nessen galaxy, Soshyan has never paid much attention to it because it is indeed small in scale. Originally it was a very large world with an ancient history and was established long before the Great Crusade.
A mechanical empire.
When the expedition fleet came here, Alatimos asked them to respect their sovereignty, and the empire chose to send legions to conquer it directly.
This battle caused the Forge Empire to lose more than three-quarters of its strength, forcing Alatimos to surrender to the empire. The Forge Empire became the dust of history, and the Forge World Alatimos was born.
Later, due to its unique laser equipment production technology, Alatimos quickly became favored by the Imperial Army, which made its status soar. However, its relationship with Mars was still quite tense, and it became part of the Steel Ring.
After the outbreak of the Great Rebellion, the Iron Ring was torn apart by internal disagreements, and a civil war broke out in Alatimos. The rebel faction first occupied the planet, and then was crushed by the loyal Titan Legion Jaeger Legion, but the entire Forge World has
It was devastated and never recovered. The Chasseur Legion also declined from a second-level legion to a third-level low-level legion. There were few major actions and glory in the following ten thousand years.
But they ran into trouble not long ago. A group of greenskins from the Pacific Star Territory launched an invasion. Although the Alatimos Forge World resisted with all its strength, two satellites fell one after another. What's worse now is that they are losing satellites.
After that, the greenskins had a base to attack the planet, and they could put the war machinery they assembled from the wreckage and ruins directly onto the surface of the planet, which put great pressure on the Skitarii and the Titan Legion.
Due to the remoteness of the planet, it was definitely too late to call Terra, and the surrounding Astra Militarum and Imperial Navy didn't know what to do. In this case, they immediately thought of the Astral Knights.
But the amazing thing is that the distress signal was not sent directly to the battle group, but to Soshiyan through Bangura.
At this point, Bangura is no longer hiding the matter. In fact, he has been tinkering with a "new steel ring" plan.
It is to unite the foundry worlds of Ulanhuda, Alatimos, Zhao-Akada, and Ekvoria, with interconnected technologies and complementary resources, to form a complete industrial and trade chain, and to maximize the use of
The resources of various galaxies on the chain can even be considered in the future to include Grea and Atal-Median to build a large number of resource stations, intelligence stations and space stations within the steel ring.
Soshyan simply couldn't believe the power generated by such a large-scale casting production belt.
Even if you say something treacherous, you can form a new empire!
So Bangura started hooking up with Alatimos very early, and after the great rebellion, he has been marginalized, and he has not received any help or attention from the empire. His political status and economic status have been almost completely lost in the Forge World.
If there is no resentment, it is fake. For the sake of loyalty, you once turned your home into ruins, but all you got were ruins. Who would be speechless?
More importantly, Bangura promised to give them the opportunity to revive their former glory. This plan is not only for Ulan Huda, but also for the country with huge resources and military power...
His Excellency Governor Nessen.
Alatimos would definitely not wear the same pants with a suspicious forging world from the beginning. The contact and testing between the two parties lasted for several years. Of course, since he has been busy with the frontline war, Soshyan did not know this, or Bangura
These diplomatic activities were launched with little notice to him.
Of course, the foundry director of Alatimos has seen the prosperity of the Nessen galaxy, and he is also aware of the prestige of the Astral Knights and the reputation of Soshyan, and he even has knowledge of the mysterious auction.
I have heard about it, but the Astral Knights have never taken the initiative to contact the Alatimos Forge World. It is easy for people to have the feeling that Soshyan may despise it.
The facts are indeed similar. It’s not that I’m looking down on it. Soshyan didn’t pay attention to it...
Considering Soshyan's attitude and his own strength, Alatimos's contact with Bangura was only at a superficial stage. The two sides conducted a technical exchange, and Ulanhuda also provided them with some assistance.
The production line meets the increasingly severe production requirements - although it is in decline, the empire, or Mars, has no shortage of order requirements. The huge production tasks have always pressed hard on Alatimos, so much so that after the great rebellion, they
There is no ability to build a new Titan, so we can only do our best to maintain the existing Titans and make ends meet.
In other words, the two sides actually lack a chance to "meet", and this greenskin invasion is a good opportunity.
Although Soshyan doesn't like Bangura's self-assertive attitude, as if he is eager to separate one party, his proposal is indeed very attractive. After all, the forging world of the Storm Star Territory is too weak. If faced with
For a high-intensity war, just relying on the three main forging worlds is not enough. If the Tyranids were larger, the entire star field might be bitten through.
Moreover, things like green skins are just a small trouble at the beginning, but if they are given some nutrients, they will become big troubles. Soshyan does not want a green skin empire to appear near his hometown. That would be very disgusting. Some war groups just don’t have it.
Dealing with the greenskin threat near their homeland has resulted in the entire chapter being entangled with the greenskin at their doorstep for hundreds or even thousands of years - yes, we are talking about the Crimson Fist.
But now Soshyan's troops are very tight. Almost all the companies of the Star Knights have been sent out, and the White Templar is almost the same. The only ones he can use are his own company 1 and company 11, as well as the ones that were successfully transformed last year.
There are 389 recruits, 218 soldiers and 100 recruits from the Sabern force to which Luko belongs (the total number of recruits is 489). White Temple only has one company, four companies, and half of the tenth company, which is 251
recruits (the total number of recruits is 481).
After careful calculation for a while, Soshyan asked each of the two war groups to leave 200 veterans to look after the house, and all the other recruits were dispatched. This time was regarded as actual combat training. He was not very worried about what would happen if he attacked these greenskins.
Cha Zi, after all, with him personally present, there won't be any big problems. On the contrary, he is more worried about the companies sent out, but there is nothing he can do. The soldiers always have to experience and grow, and casualties are unavoidable.
After a brief preparation, Soshyan gathered his troops, took part of the fleet, and used the Randall as the flagship (the Eternal Loyalty stayed in the archdiocese to serve as the flagship for Ustad), and attacked Alatimos in a mighty manner.
